Guidance for the Young Proverbs 3: Spiritual Insight (Part 1)

3 My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; 2 For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. 8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

The Christ/Messiah – Meditation in The Wisdom and knowledge of God

I know that most of us have favorite ‘go-to’ verses, passages and books within the Holy Word of God to find comfort and help in times of need. For me, Proverbs Three is one chapter that I favor very much. God in His Mercy and Grace provides through His Wisdom answers for every need of His children.

God is always promising, tugging, prodding, directing, pleading, commanding and challenging us to return to His image and likeness. He uses the gifts that He provides through His Spirit like, faith, hope, and love. He uses promises and challenges recorded in His Word, He provides blessings and disciplines to comfort us. Yet, we fail and if that is not enough, we fail Him again.

God never fails, can I get a witness? God never fails. Proverbs 3:1-4 “My son, don’t forget my teaching, keep my commands in your heart...”(CJV) We read the words, but we do not anchor them in our heart and the result is a “failure to obey”. The soul side of our heart longs to obey God, but if the seed of God’s promises and challenges are not planted in the good soil (soul) it will not take root and grow into the blessing of a prosperous and fulfilled life.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (CJV) Trust in Adonai (The LORD) with all your heart, do not rely on your own understanding… The whole heart is involved with trusting God, all of us have one heart with two compartments, one side contains our person, it is where we dwell, the other side is our soul, where God the Holy Spirit dwells. Here in Proverbs, we are challenged to use our whole heart but to filter the human understanding that comes from our personal side.

We are to use all our human faculties and spiritual gifts available in us to obey God. if we have ‘life In Christ’ then God has blessed us with EVERY spiritual blessing available, in return God is expecting us to respond and glorify Him by using what He has provided, in this we must not to lean on our personal understanding of this, because we cannot understand. Therefore in all of our ways, we are mandated to acknowledge Him and He will to His Glory, direct our path.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
